Good question...  I'm not sure, but since the 300TD is cast iron and quite a
bit larger than a WBX, I would assume that it is substantially heavier.

I also doubt that a 300TD would fit in a Vanagon engine bay.

Cheers,

Jeff

How much heavier is the 300TD engine?

But I agree that it's too heavy for a Vanagon.
